  • Patent number: 9375083
    Abstract: A lockable ejection device for a movable furniture part includes an ejection element acting on the movable furniture part in an opening direction, a housing, and a locking element arranged in or on the housing. At least in the closing direction of the movable furniture part, the path of the ejection element in the opening direction can be blocked by the locking element. Both when excess pressure is applied to the movable furniture part from a closed position in the closing direction and when the movable furniture part is pulled from the closed position in the opening direction, the ejection element can be released by the locking element. Both when excess pressure is applied to the movable furniture part and when the movable furniture part is being pulled, the ejection element can be unlocked by a movement of the locking element relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20160007748
    Abstract: A drive device for a movable furniture part includes an ejecting element for moving the movable furniture part from a closed position to an open position, an ejection force accumulator that applies force to the ejecting element, and a locking device for locking the ejecting element by a locking element in a locking section. The locking device can be unlocked by overpressing the movable furniture part from the closed position to an overpressing position in the closing direction. The movable furniture part can be moved in the opening direction by the ejection force accumulator and the ejecting element, and the locking device has a pre-locking section for the locking element. The locking element is moved from the pre-locking section into the locking section via a push-through evasion section by pushing the movable furniture part during closing into a push-through position behind the closing position in the closing direction.

  • Publication number: 20150374123
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device for a furniture part which can be displaced in a furniture body, comprising an ejection device which can be locked in a locked position, said ejection device being used to move the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position. The ejection device can be unlocked by pushing the movable furniture part so that it moves into a pushed-in position which is beyond the closed position in the closing direction, this enables the ejection device to move the moveable furniture part in the opening direction; the moveable furniture part can also be moved from the closed position into the open position by pulling said moveable furniture part, the ejection device remaining in the locked position when opened by pulling.

  • Patent number: 8491069
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a drawer and a pull-out guide for the drawer. The drawer has a drawer container and a front panel that can be connected to the drawer container, and the pull-out guide has at least one body rail for fastening to a furniture body and at least one drawer rail, which can be moved relative to the body rail between an open position and a closed position and on which the drawer can be fastened to the pull-out guide. The arrangement also includes a releasable locking element so that, in a locking position, the motion of the drawer rail in the closing direction relative to the body rail can be stopped in an intermediate position before the closed position is reached, and, in a release position, the motion of the drawer rail in the closing direction relative to the body rail can be released until the closed position is reached.
